[Unfortunately, he's ended up drooping slowly into the table leg. His palm is pressed tightly against the new opening, trying to keep anything else from popping open from the sudden weight bearing down on the resin, screws and wires. He is deathly silent out of habit. Just visibly shaking where he's seated.

Some of the blood is now his blood. Not that it's obvious in the mess their fight caused.

Leonardo looks at his brother, trying for a thumbs up, but it just earns a breathy pained sound when he lets go for just a moment. He won't fight Donnie about being worked on whilst prone on the floor.

At worst, he takes a sharp breath, but is just very still.]

[Yeah know what? Before he even gets to working?

Leo is having painkillers put down his throat, well okay not forcefully done. But he is being given something to make the pain less. Then Donnie will get to work, working from what Casey did already. Which will get Leo hearing a "Good job, Junior" from under Donnie's breath as he's quickly replacing and tightening the wires once more. Once that is done to his satisfaction, he's getting what he needs to mix up the epoxy resin and using the saline to rinse out any dirt or stray old resin out of the wound too.]

[He manages to take the pills dry, only gagging a little but doesn't fight against much. He definitely needs the painkillers at this point.

His head lulls backwards as he takes in one deep breath and another. He watches Donnie work. There is a flicker of pride for praise for Casey. At the moment, the situation is too much of a mess for Leo to say much.

He knows Donnie prefers working in silence anyway.]

[Funnily enough, the silence isn't going to last. Donnie just keeps muttering to himself, mostly about how this is stupid and that this is his fault. But he does what he needs to, going slowly with the resin application, since he doesn't want to miss a spot. All while he's getting more and more feverish from his medicine earlier, and dizzy.

Leo might notice a bit of a wobble to Donnie's hands, but he is doing his best to be steady as possible.]

Almost, Dee. Almost done. [He offers back, trying to do... something to keep his brother in the moment. He sees the start of a wobble in his twin's hands.] Get far as you can, and we'll call it good on this.

No. [He hisses, shaking his head to keep himself focused as he keeps working.]

I have to fix this.

If you're about to pass out, it won't do either of us any good, Donnie. [Leo loosely knew how to seal himself with resin. Though it would be messy and ugly.]

I'm not... I'm just, hot. [He is getting every nook and cranny as he can. He doesn't want Leo's shell to break again, and he is going to make sure it won't.]

What did you do- before I got here? [He questions quietly back, his gaze flicking between Donnie's hands and his work.]

Hm? [What did he do before Leo showed up? Ah, yeah...]

I mixed up a medicine that should kill off the infection, so the... Ah fever is one of the side effects, I guess?

[Not telling Leo that he straight up is testing it on himself instead of, say, on a blood sample. Although it shouldn't be too hard to figure that out.]

This is your first time using it, huh? [Unfortunately, he knows Donnie well enough to take a shot in the dark.]

... not like I can test it on anyone else. [Almost done here! Resin being applied so good.

Also Leo might notice from the cuts on Donnie that the blood is slightly pink, not that he needs that confirmation considering the blood samples that got thrown about earlier.]

You can test it on your blood first. [He lobs back, squinting at his twin.] Well. Before I broke a lot of the vials.

That won't tell me of any side effects, Leo.

[And done, which is probably a good thing because he is really damned dizzy right now and... down he goes, thankfully not towards the table but Donnie is totally going to end up on some glass.]

[Any counterargument Leo has dies in the back of his throat as Donnie goes down.]

Fuck. Okay. [He's not supposed to move much after being resin'd. He manages to carefully sit up, balancing his shell against a table leg.] Yeah, it's really not working out for you, so far, Dee.

[He needs to gather his strength before he can try to get Donnie up.]

I'm okay.

[At least he didn't pass out! Just, dizzy and not getting up. And he will so fucking yell at Leo if he tries anything to help him right now.]

Says the guy who fell into glass. [Says the guy who cracked himself open like an egg.]

You can't talk, egg boy. [He was going to make a comment about how it's just a fast way to get more blood samples, but instead he's shivering from the drug induced fever.]

At least I'm not holding teenagers at gun point when they're worried about me.

If you think that's what happened you must have cracked more than your shell.

Casey told me what happened, Donnie. [he snaps back.] Do you really think Casey would push so hard on something if he wasn't worried about you? None of us know what to do, we're all freaking out.

Well, you shouldn't. You're freaking out over nothing. [Ugh, he's going to try to get upright, which means he's getting glass in his hands and arms. Since he's not exactly wearing long sleeves right now.]

How is it nothing?! You're stressed enough that you threatened Casey! [He throws his hand in the air in exasperation.] If Anyone, Anyone else did this, I would've just killed them. Do you not get that!?

I'm not talking about that. [He knows the gun thing, yes that is what he is calling it, isn't nothing. He means himself.]

Then why didn't you? It would've taken a lot of stress off the both of you if you did.

[That question just knocks the air out of him.]

You would just come back, just as sick. It wouldn't magically resolve anything.
